COMMUNITY UPDATES

Cuidiu Mullingar

Cuidiu Breastfeeding Support Group is on tomorrow, Wednesday 27th from 10.30 to 12.30. We will be in the Great Hall in Columb Barracks Mullingar. Lots of free parking, tea, coffee and scones. Lots of room for little ones to run around too. Would be lovely to see lots of mums, babies and mums to be tomorrow. We charge €3 for members and €5 for non members to cover cost of tea/coffee/rent. As always there will be breastfeeding counsellors there to answer any breastfeeding queries you may have.

Hi all. The mullingar Cuidiu Breastfeeding Counsellors will be away having extra training on Sept 30th so we will not be available to organise a Mullingar venue, the closest is Athlone but if some of the Mullingar mums would like to organise an event for the 2017 Latch on get in touch with Friends of Breastfeeding.

Last years instrumental recruits! These guys were learning music in school or around town before joining up with MTB, so they were well equipped in reading music hence they went straight onto instruments. On returning back after the Summer break, they have now upgraded into our Cadet Band Class. They're great fun! :D
So if you're wondering what class you will sign up for;
You should be 8 years or older.
You should be able to read basic five lines/four spaces in music to sign up to our instrument class.
You should be a complete beginner (either no reading music skills or only letter names) to sign up to our recorder class.
Email us on mullingartownband1879@gmail.com or phone 0861999497 if you have any questions.
Recruiting TOMORROW (Tuesday) 5.30-6pm at the Bandhall. If you can't make that time just give us a call to sign up or call in the following Tuesday.

Mullingar Hockey Club

The new Season is finally here, unfortunately the Men's 1st's game vs Three Rock Rovers doesn't go ahead. But after weeks of pre-season training, the Men's 2nd's face newly formed Dublin North @ 3pm in the Loreto. All support greatly appreciated.

We've got some strong links with the Mayo side today, with 2 of our players, namely Joan Leonard, who is probably their No1 fan, travelling to all their games home & away and is currently wandering around the Jones Road area looking for a ticket and our new under 16 coach Leanne Rochfort, is a sister of the current Mayo manager Stephen Rochfort!

Mullingar Camera Club

Another good crowd at this week's meeting. Bob gave a talk on photographing people in both formal and informal settings and then our groups got together to discuss how we progress our skills in each genre.
Don't forget next Tuesday is the opening of the exhibition @ 6.30pm in the Atrium of the county buildings.
